It is not very friendly, it is a bit difficult to use, if i want to see if a student was absent in all classes or just one class i have to go to so many places to find it out.

I don't like how clunky it is. It is very difficult to move between frames and it is not visually appealing (and does not use visually stimulating colors, etc. to make navigation easier.
